I am so excited to find a nail salon in the Village that I can return to again and again!“

Entourage Salon Nail Salons

“This is Family, women owned small business in an upbeat, comfortable shop. The stylits all have excellent experience. During my salon times at Entourage since 2022, I have received expert care. My hair and style preference are challenging and requires technical expertise very difficult to find. Marti, one of the three sisters, listens carefully and turns my maddeningly straight hair into a fabulous style that is VERY EASY for me to achieve on a daily basis!!! Even at.the 5 week mark when I have my.next appointment, it still looks great. Entourage also uses highest quality colors (Schwarzkopf), and each stylist has the skill to make every color look wonderful and last.

I have listened to, and observed all of the stylists at Entourage carefully consider each client's special preferences and concerns. They also offer their expert insights to ensure client satisfaction!

I've never been rushed, and always pampered!! I leave looking fabulous every visit!!“

Nails.Com Nail Salons

“I really enjoyed this place. Celine did an incredible job on my mani and pedi. We got just what we wanted. Very detailed work she does. Amy did my daughter's nails. We paid 175$ for both of us for manis and pedis no including tip. Little pricy for me but we are on vacation and wanted to pamper ourselves. They serve you one drink of your choice. I got the iced chai and it was delicious. They even have the good ice. I called other places before coming and it was super expensive, so I recommend this location 10/10 and Celine was super sweet. The whole staff was warm and welcoming. Thank you!“

Professional Nails Salon Nail Salons

“Had my appointment on Valentine's Day with Zenny. I was finally using a giftcard so decided to go with something new. Gel extension with ombré design. Although she was hesitant and up front about her skills with ombré, I have complete faith as she's always done excellent work. And she did! Turned out so pretty! I'm obsessed and now I have plans to come in often so Zenny can practice a new ombreé design so we can get her more confident in future ombré requests ??

Fast forward to first review. Here is what Zenny's ombré style looks like“

Gel Touch Nail Spa Nail Salons

“I have been seen Angela now for about six months and have loved every visit. She is a true artist and has a beautiful attention to detail. I also feel that my nails are very healthy under the gel as she is very careful and mindful of how she treats my natural nails as well. Also have had a few pedicures from other manicures at the salon and they do a beautiful job. The whole atmosphere is very fun. They always have some fun music playing, and everyone is very kind.

Update 7/31/25 Tracy filled in while Angela was out. She did a fabulous job as well!!! Very detail oriented. Thank you! Just over a week after they were done and they are still looking fabulous adding a photo below. It is the sunshine manicure with the flower details.“

We also appreciated the complimentary iced drinks and hot coffee they offered. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
